Designed by Apple from the ground up, Maps gives you turn-by-turn spoken directions, interactive 3D views and the stunning Flyover feature.1 All in a beautiful vector-based interface that scales and zooms with ease.

Maps goes full screen to use every inch of your big beautiful Retina display. Maps also takes advantage of the ambient light sensor built into your iOS device. So if you’re in a dimly lit place or driving at night, you can view an easy-on-the-eyes night-mode version of the map you’re looking at. When everything’s easier to read, it’s harder to get lost.

When you’re driving or walking, Maps helps you find your way to your destination with turn-by-turn spoken directions. As you approach a turn, Maps speaks directions so you can keep your eyes on the road. And the screen turns into a 3D perspective of the road ahead. When you make a turn, the viewing angle changes dynamically to show you where to go. If you miss a turn, don’t worry. Maps automatically reroutes you and updates your ETA. And all along the way, large signs and arrows guide you in the right direction and let you know how long it’s going to take to get there — even if your screen is locked.

With Maps, you get real-time traffic information to calculate your ETA. Maps gives you details of what’s causing a tailback so you can tell if there’s a major incident or just a temporary slowdown. And if traffic’s a mess, Maps offers alternative routes to save you time.

See selected major metropolitan areas from the air with photo-realistic, interactive 3D views. Explore cities in high resolution as you zoom, pan, tilt and rotate around the city and its landmarks.

Tap a pin you’ve placed on the map or a search result to see a card full of useful information about that location. View photos, tap to dial phone numbers, get an address, find websites, peruse Yelp ratings and reviews — even find deals to save you money. Tap the Quick Route button and Maps instantly gives you turn-by-turn directions to any search result.

When you hear about a great new location — like a restored Art Deco cinema or a restaurant-slash-boutique — save it as a bookmark in Maps. And spare your future self the need to remember the names and addresses of those places all over again. iCloud stores the places you’ve bookmarked, so they’re accessible on your Mac, iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.2 iCloud also lets you send a map from your Mac running OS X Yosemite straight to your iPhone. When you’re signed in to iCloud on both devices, your phone shows up in the Share menu on your Mac. So you can plan your trip at your desk and get turn-by-turn voice navigation on the go.

Turn-by-turn navigation is available on iPhone 4s or later, iPad 2 or later and iPad mini with mobile data capability. Flyover is available on iPhone 4s or later, iPad 2 or later, iPad mini and iPod touch (5th generation). Mobile data charges may apply.
